2 Samoela 8
1 Ary nony afaka izany, dia nandresy ny Filistina Davida ka nampietry azy; ary ny fanapahana ny renivohitra dia nesorin’ i Davida tamin’ ny tanan’ ny Filistina.
After this it came about that David attacked the Philistines and defeated them. So David took Metheg Ammah from the control of the Philistines.
2 Ary nandresy ny Moabita koa izy, dia nampandriny tamin’ ny tany ireo ary nohariny tamin’ ny kofehy, ka izay indroan’ ny kofehy novonoiny, fa ny erany kosa novelominy; ka dia tonga mpanompon’ i Davida ny Moabita ka nandoa hetra.
Then he defeated Moab and measured their men with a line by making them lie down on the ground. He measured off two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. So the Moabites became servants to David and began to pay him tribute.
3 Dia resin’ i Davida koa Hadadezera, zanak’ i Rehoba, mpanjakan’ i Zoba, tamin’ izy lasa nampody ny fanjakany teo amoron’ ny ony Eofrata.
David then defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, the king of Zobah, as Hadadezer was traveling to recover his rule by the Euphrates River.
4 Ary Davida nahazo babo taminy, dia miaramila an-tsoavaly fiton-jato amby arivo sy miaramila an-tongotra roa alina; ary notraingotraingoin’ i Davida avokoa ny soavalin-kalesy rehetra, fa ny tokony ho amin’ ny kalesy zato ihany no navelany.
David captured from him 1,700 chariots and twenty thousand footmen. David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for a hundred chariots.
5 Ary tonga ny Syriana avy tany Damaskosy hanampy an’ i Hadadezera, mpanjakan’ i Zoba; dia nahafatesan’ i Davida olona roa arivo sy roa alina koa ny Syriana.
When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand Aramean men.
6 Ary nametrahan’ i Davida miaramila tany Syria momba an’ i Damaskosy; dia tonga mpanompon’ i Davida ny Syriana ka nandoa hetra. Fa Jehovah nampahery an’ i Davida teny amin’ izay rehetra nalehany.
Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became servants to him and brought him tribute. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.
7 Ary nalain’ i Davida ny ampinga volamena izay teny amin’ ny mpanompon’ i Hadadezera ka nentiny nankany Jerosalema.
David took the golden shields that were on Hadadezer's servants and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Ary teo Beta sy Berotahy, tanànan’ i Hadadezera, no nahazoan’ i Davida mpanjaka babo varahina be dia be.
From Tebah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took very much bronze.
9 Ary nony ren’ i Toy, mpanjakan’ i Hamata, fa efa naharesy ny miaramilan’ i Hadadezera rehetra Davida,
When Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer,
10 dia nirahin’ i Toy Jorama zanany hankany amin’ i Davida mpanjaka hiarahaba azy sy hisaotra azy noho ny niadiany tamin’ i Hadadezera sy ny nandreseny azy (fa Hadadezera dia fahavalon’ i Toy); ary gorama nitondra fanaka volafotsy sy fanaka volamena ary fanaka varahina;
Tou sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, and because Hadadezer had waged war against Tou. Hadoram brought with himself objects of silver, gold, and bronze.
11 dia nohamasinin’ i Davida mpanjaka ho an’ i Jehovah koa izany mbamin’ ny volafotsy sy ny volamena izay nohamasininy avy tamin’ ny firenena rehetra izay efa resiny,
King David set aside these objects to Yahweh, together with the silver and gold from all the nations that he conquered—
12 dia tamin’ i Syria sy Moaba sy ny taranak’ i Amona sy ny Filistina sy ny Amalekita ary ny babo azony tamin’ i Hadadezera, zanak’ i Rehoba, mpanjakan’ i Zoba.
from Aram, Moab, the people of Ammon, the Philistines, and Amalek, along with all of the plundered goods of Hadadezer son of Rehob, the king of Zobah.
13 Ary Davida nahazo laza nony niverina avy nandresy ny Syriana valo arivo sy iray alina teo amin’ ny Lohasahan-tsira.
David's name was well known when he returned from conquering the Arameans in the Valley of Salt, with their eighteen thousand men.
14 Ary nametrahany miaramila tany Edoma; eny, nametrahany miaramila avokoa Edoma rehetra, ary ny mponina rehetra tany Edoma dia tonga mpanompon’ i Davida. Ary Jehovah nampahery an’ i Davida teny amin’ izay rehetra nalehany.
He placed garrisons throughout all of Edom, and all the Edomites became servants to him. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.
15 Ary Davida nanjaka tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra ka nitsara sy nitondra marina ny vahoakany rehetra.
David reigned over all Israel, and he administered justice and righteousness to all his people.
16 Ary Joaba, zanak’ i Zeroia, no komandin’ ny miaramila; ary Josafata, zanak’ i Ahiloda, no mpitadidy ny raharaham-panjakana;
Joab son of Zeruiah was the commander of the army, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was recorder.
17 ary Zadoka, zanak’ i Ahitoba, sy Ahimeleka, zanak’ i Abiatara, no mpisorona; ary Seraia no mpanoratra;
Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests, and Seraiah was scribe.
18 ary Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, no mpifehy ny mpiambina andriana; ary ny zanak’ i Davida no mpanolo-tsaina.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was in charge of the Kerethites and Pelethites, and David's sons were the chief officials at the king's hand.
